The expression "NO, I WILL NOT UPGRADE" is showing a disconnection from Redmond. "This hardware is fine, I will not switch to Vista, thank you".And from there, from that point of rebelion, other alternatives sounds plausible.
If you are feeling that Vista is a scam, and that someone is trying to push you to buy new hardware, when you are told that there is a FREE version of an OS that lets you stay with your hardware and is community based you hear bells from heaven.
It's version 8 and it is beta 2!!! Compare it with the betas on Firefox 3 and you'll see the difference.
I'm developer and I know what a beta means: Alpha is a proof of concept, beta is "see how it works" and a release candidate is a "lets catch the bugs, but this should be final, no more feats to add".
But please, this is version 8 of a well known software, and this new version is not bringing so big differences comparing it with version 7. Which is, by the way, bloated and heavy. If something should come from IE Team is the news that this new version is fast and not fat.
The number of threads are a problem in XP, which really gets hurt when an app starts launching threads here and there. There is a solid possibility that IE8 performs better on Vista than in XP and this might be their point after all.
It's critical when you have complex web applications. I imagine there should be an easy way to start a page on a "critical" tab and try to preserve it from the other by any means.
Something you may be doing by experience is having a different window for each type of category of things (mail, research, fun) you are doing, and having multiple tabs for each page you are reading on every topic.
What they are trying to say s that IE8 has different processes by tab, something that chrome is promising too, as other poster notes.
A different process seems to be like when you start two copies of the program: they are in different processes and when one of them crashes, the other may still work well.
So, there must be another process rendering each process to allow these two different ones to show up in the same window. I hope this works, but I wonder what other problems this will bring. It takes more resources, that's for sure.
You need to go to Argentina to eat the best meat in the world, and then you can choose. Fat is not the most important part of meat taste, but an important one.
There is no way to make a monopoly out of a Linux distro... or is it? We can create one called MonopoLinux...
hey!That's brilliant! Lets create a monopoly around Linux so everybody will have to install Linux and that would be the end of the world
Ok... I really don't remember what the tags says... I think it was "Vista Premium Ready" versus "Vista Almost there", or was it "Buy Vista and Downgrade to XP"... anyway, the joke was that Vista may run decently there... but I really don't think so...

have you ever heard about FUD?
but... do you have an Asterisk PBX?
Because Asterisk is an Open Source project that will really hurt their ability to TAP communications.

They will try just that, but seriously, is not going to work.
Awesome!!! I asked a pink teenager to say something and the translation was hilarious: OMG translates to "Shiver me timbers!".
I'm thousand miles away, fortunately, and yes they will bundle it to a sinking ship.
And it is a big, huge effect in YOUR life when you start using open source software.

Firefox 3 is awesome on recovering from that kind of crashes. Even coming back from a power loss is a non problematic experience.
These improvements should be bug fixes, but as they are new features they will carry their own pack of bugs.
On version 8 of any software, this is alarming. Considering that IE8 is not rewriten from scrach, they will have to work hard to convince.
I think the license system tries to make America sound worse than it really is
whitout dirt there is no human society, nice patent! But I have previous work to invalidate it, that's for sure.
Isn't that the same weapon? I think ID3 should patent the BFG9000!
totally agree!
You need to go to Argentina to eat the best meat in the world, and then you can choose. Fat is not the most important part of meat taste, but an important one.
and after several years of eating that food you discover a third arm is growing in your back... still tasty!
I would modded you up if you pointed to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green , but there it is, I fixed it for you!
So... this DoS attack HAS TO BE A LIE, or there was a DoS, but somewhere else?
First thought: computers emulate Slashdot editors, but science, as always is ahead of my imagination.
